About this Shrine

A syncretic shrine in Kanagawa Prefecture that uniquely combines three major Japanese religious traditions. The shrine enshrines Tenman Daijizaiten (associated with Sugawara no Michizane), Hakusan Myori Daigongen (the Buddhist manifestation of the Hakusan mountain deity), and Inari Daimyojin (the rice and prosperity deity). This combination reflects the historical blending of Shinto, Buddhism, and folk religious practices.

Cultural Significance

The shrine's name demonstrates the syncretic nature of Japanese religion, combining Tenjin worship (scholarship and learning), Hakusan mountain worship (purification and spiritual power), and Inari worship (prosperity and agriculture). Such triple dedications were more common before the Meiji period's separation of Buddhism and Shinto.
